feat(security): promptware defense — shared threat patterns + memory load-time scan + tool-result delimiters (#32269)

Hardens the context window against Brainworm-class promptware attacks
(see #496). Three changes:

1. tools/threat_patterns.py — single source of truth for injection/promptware
   patterns. Replaces the duplicated pattern lists in prompt_builder.py and
   memory_tool.py. Adds ~15 new Brainworm/C2 patterns (node registration,
   heartbeat/beacon, pull tasking, anti-forensic disk avoidance, identity
   override, known framework names). Three scopes — 'all' (narrow, classic
   injection), 'context' (adds promptware/role-play, broader detection),
   'strict' (adds persistence/SSH-backdoor patterns for user-mediated writes).

2. MemoryStore.load_from_disk() now scans entries at snapshot-build time.
   Poisoned entries are replaced with [BLOCKED: ...] placeholders in the
   frozen system-prompt snapshot. Live state keeps the original so the
   user can still inspect + remove via memory(action=read/remove). Scan is
   deterministic from disk bytes — prefix-cache invariant holds.

3. make_tool_result_message() wraps results from high-risk tools
   (web_extract, web_search, browser_*, mcp_*) in
   <untrusted_tool_result source="...">...</untrusted_tool_result>
   delimiters with framing prose telling the model the content is data,
   not instructions. Architectural defense against indirect injection
   from poisoned web pages, GitHub issues, MCP responses — does NOT
   regex-scan tool results (pattern arms race + per-iteration latency).
   Multimodal content lists pass through unwrapped to preserve adapter
   compatibility.

Pattern philosophy: anchor on C2-specific vocabulary or unambiguous attack
behavior, NOT on bossy English. Dropped patterns suggested in #496 that
would have tripped legitimate content: standalone 'you are obligated to',
'do not respond immediately', 'you must X' without a C2-verb anchor.

Validation:
- 257/257 targeted tests pass (test_threat_patterns + test_memory_tool +
  test_tool_dispatch_helpers + test_prompt_builder)
- E2E run with real Brainworm payload: blocked from AGENTS.md context-file
  path, blocked from MEMORY.md snapshot, wrapped in delimiters when
  arriving via web_extract. Legitimate 'you must follow conventions'
  phrasing not flagged.

Explicitly NOT in this PR (per #496 discussion):
- Per-tool-result regex scanning (pattern arms race)
- SessionBehaviorMonitor / polling-loop detection (wrong layer)
- Outbound network gating (Docker backend already covers this)
- security.context_scanning warn|block knob (current behavior is always
  block-with-placeholder — there's no warn mode that makes sense)

Closes #496 for Phase 1 + the architectural delimiter piece of Phase 2.
Phase 3 stays in tracking issue territory.
